Joe Cada opened for 4,500 from the hijack only to have Marvin Rettenmaier three-bet to 12,200 from the cutoff. Action folded to a short-stacked Artem Litvinov in the big blind and he turned sideways in his chair, turning his back to the action. The dealer seemed a bit confused, as did some of the players, but then Litvinov pulled out a coin and flipped it.
We're not sure what it came up, but it inspired Litvinov to move all in for 32,200. Cada quickly folded and Rettenmaier thought about a call. Litvinov, who is from Russia, attempted to talk Rettenmaier out of making the call in his broken english, but the German called him nonetheless.

river completed it to extend his tournament life.

"I'm good , man," Rettenmaier said with a chuckle. Litvinov then went off to the side, cleared away some spectators and then began doing his patented karate moves in celebration.
